For spectators from abroad, the prices of individual tickets for the first round range between 250 and 800 Qatari riyals (between 62 and 200 euros) for a match. For the final, it is necessary to count between 2200 and 5850 riyals (550 and 1460 euros). On average, they are 30% more expensive than at the previous World Cup in Russia in 2018.
Possibility for spectators to see two matches on the same day
Given the short distances between the eight stadiums located within a radius of 50 kilometers from the center of the capital Doha, “for the first time, the public will be able to request tickets for two matches taking place on the same day, at the start of the group stage“, also specifies Fifa.
The opening of this second phase of sales follows the draw for the first round of the competition last week. A total of 804,186 tickets were allocated during the first sales phase between January 19 and February 8, while 17 million had been requested. There are a little over three million available in all (two million for sale and one reserved for Fifa and its partners).
